It's kind of depressing to realize that the "publisher" half of my
novelist sideline might end up taking longer than the "writer" half. I completed
the manuscript to my new scifi novella in under 3 months (a record for me.) It has now
taking over 2 full months to work it through beta readers, then have
it edited, and finally polished by me. I also went through numerous variations of the
blurb (which is quite important for online sales.) Now I am having second
thoughts about the cover I had planned, so I am experimenting with
something very different. My artist brother, Dave, will be rendering the new cover soon (hopefully) and it will be perfect and all will be well in the world (again, hopefully.)

On the positive side, I am very happy
with the 26,000-word story as it now stands and will feel no trepidation
when I release it to the world. Hopefully, that will be in a month or so . Stay tuned...
